I've got a couple of years until I turn pro so I guess within that period hopefully I'll be able to get a little bit better.

Golf is like 99.9 percent of my life, and then there's school. I don't get much time to go out with my friends.

I've played such good golf, and it was hard coming up and it wasn't easy in any matches or any shots. It means a lot. I think hopefully it will mean a lot to New Zealand because I'm the next winner of the U.S. Amateur after Danny Lee.

I can't say I'm not nervous at all with media and doing speeches, but I'm getting used to it and better at it, hopefully.

If I make a bogey or three putt I'm on fire inside. But it's not like you're going to play any better slamming your club or getting angry. So you might as well just keep it in. People say I'm pretty calm, but I do make mistakes and I do get angry, but I try and not show it.

Everyone gets surprised because neither one of my parents play golf. Like I said in my speech, my aunt and uncle really love golf, and we visited them, and she gave me two clubs. Like people think when they don't know who my dad is, they think he's my coach.
